Late Testing

Occasionally, circumstances make it necessary for students to test late. Situations under which the AP Program authorizes schools to conduct late testing appear in the Late-Testing Policy (.pdf/51K). Requires Adobe Reader (latest version recommended). To preserve the security of AP Exams, alternate forms are used for late testing. All students who participate in late testing at a given school must take these alternate exams on the scheduled late-testing dates at the scheduled times. See Late Testing for full details.
